Rodents excrete urine and droppings freely, which can easily contaminate food, utensils or surfaces they come across. This places us at risk of contracting diseases such as Salmonellosis, which can cause food poisoning symptoms such as fever, diarrhea and nausea.

Rodent droppings can trigger allergies and transmit food borne illness. Some other diseases include Hantavirus, which is largely transmitted through droppings or urine. If left untreated, infection could lead to severe implications such as respiratory diseases.

Leptospirosis is another common disease caused by rodents. The disease spreads by eating food or drinking water that is contaminated with urine from infected pests, or contact through skin with water or soil that is infected and contaminated.
